Tour Description

Experience the sun-kissed region of Puglia on this Classic Puglia tour. Running down the stretch of the Italian heel, this region remains undeservedly undiscovered. Characterised by earthy cuisine and white-washed architecture, Puglia can feel more like a Greek island than an Italian region – making its exploration all the more adventurous.

Your Classic Puglia tour introduces you to the unmissable highlights of the region. Giving you a taste of authentic southern life at the slow and steady pace it deserves.

Visit the stunning seaside town of Polignano al Mare

Everybody knows the song Volare. Even if only for that one lyric, and perhaps the following: il blu dipinto nel blu–”blue painted in blue.” Well, its author, Domenico Modugno, was born in Polignano a Mare, and when you look out from its stone bastions at the sky blending into the azure Adriatic, you can see his inspiration.

Your Classic Puglia tour continues in Alberobello

No Puglian itinerary would be complete without a trip to the city of trulli. In the company of your local guide, you’ll explore one of the most picturesque cities in Southern Italy, visiting its unique (UNESCO) houses, churches and attractions. No other Pugliese town offers such an authentic taste of the pace of daily meridionale (southern) life.

Wind down the day in Ostuni

Next, we head to Ostuni, affectionately known as the White City due to its white-washed Old Town. Blessed with sweeping coastal vistas of olive groves running down to the sea, Ostuni deserves to be discovered– both for its atmosphere and for its food. To finish the day, we visit a local family-run farm close to Ostuni and sample its special cold-meat cuts among other Slow Food specialties.

And remember – your Classic Puglia tour is fully customizable. Whatever your passion – whether for food, history, or nature – we can craft the perfect private tour for you!
